BLOOMINGTON – The prosecution in the Kirk Zimmerman murder trial wants about 40 alleged statements by he and his late ex-wife, Pam, admitted into his upcoming proceedings.

One specific statement discussed for about an hour was Pam Zimmerman telling a friend, “He’s going to kill me”.

The prosecution argues that statement and the others give insight into the emotional and financial mentality of Pam and Kirk.

The defense does not want to allow the statements calling them opinion and, thus, unreliable, so not legally admissible.

At one point, the judge referenced the potential power of these types of statements by citing an entirely different case called People versus Floyd when permitted statements played a

large role in the ruling, a ruling later overturned.

Kirk Zimmerman is accused of killing his ex-wife, Pam, at her office on East Washington in Bloomington in November 2014.
